Conservative political commentator and former Fox News personality Glenn Beck said that opposing GOP nominee Donald Trump is the “moral, ethical choice” -- even if it that inadvertently leads to supporting Hillary.
“It is not acceptable to ask a moral, dignified man to cast his vote to help elect an immoral man who is absent decency or dignity,” he wrote in a Facebook over the weekend. “ If one helps to elect an immoral man to the highest office, then one is merely validating his immorality, lewdness, and depravity.”
Beck’s comments follow a tumultuous week for the Trump campaign in which dozens of Republicans have either publicly denounced or rescinded their endorsements for their party leader after the release of a video showing Trump making sexually demeaning comments towards women. Unlike many of those in his party, Beck, however, has been an outspoken critic of the business mogul from the very beginning--supporting, instead, Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, in the primaries. In a recent interview with Vice, Beck said he had briefly considered voting for Mrs. Clinton, but said that he “could never.”
But he also added this in his Facebook post, “If she is elected, the world does not end.... Once elected, Hillary can be fought. Her tactics are blatant and juvenile, and battling her by means of political and procedural maneuvering or through the media , through public marches and online articles, all of that will be moral, worthy of man of principal. Her nominees can be blocked, her proposed laws voted down.”
In a post on his website, Beck clarified his remarks about Clinton, saying it doesn’t mean he’s endorsing or voting for her. . If the election were today, he said, he would vote for Darrell Castle of the Constitution Party, but that it’s “subject to change.”

Counting the days until Beck files Chapter 11...............
Can’t be a Restoring Honor 2 with Pres Trump. Or ticket sales.
Stabby, the crazy clown!
Shark, jumped.
Absolutely. He’s gone full Cheetos.
At one point about 15-18 months ago I was fully in support of Ted Cruz. I never said bad things about Trump nor touted Ted as the be-all-end-all, either.
But when I caught that little play Ted and Beck cooked up on stage somewhere that showed Beck giving Cruz the “oath of office,” both of them in a sport jacket and blue jeans that was the last straw for me (in addition to some of the rabid, combative Cruz support here on FR) - I went Trump.
Beck is clinically insane IMO. It’s either that or he’s back in the bottle or much worse.
Hope he keeps away from the toilet bowl.
At least the Buddhist monks in Vietnam had the decency to set themselves on fire.
Maybe the failed Glenn Beck is hoping for a position on the Clinton Foundation.
As I recall further, it wasn’t 15-18 months ago. It actually was around Thanksgiving/Christmas time this past year.
I think he’s much too holy to be in politics.
Either the Clinton Foundation is ponying up tons of cash to support Beck’s ‘programs’, or she has the goods on some of his dirty deeds.
Of course, there is always the alternative, which is that he is bat-manure crazy.
This guy needs serious help. He is so full of ego, jealousy and can’t help himself from frothing at the mouth with Trump hatred....throwing his country under the bus in the process.
Dear Glenn.
Think of this as a coin. Trump is on one side, Hillary the other.
Only one will be face up after this.
You can’t demand Trump be face down, and Hillary face up, if you wish to argue on a morals basis.
Are you capable of grasping that? So far..., NO!
Yeah? Who's gonna do it, Glenn? The Republicans?
Get your head out of your ass. Have you been paying attention the last 8+ years?
Go ahead and vote to honor your conscience. And, if that give us Hillary, it's on you, pal.
I stuck with you and gave you the benefit of the doubt longer than most anyone on this site. But I'm done with you and your non-stop Trump-bashing radio program. No more.
Maybe the Mormon church will bail him out.
Beck is an idiot.
the question is “holy-what?”
